What do you guys think of Stop Snitching

A few months ago we had a double homicide in my county. Another Deputy and myself found a key witness to the shooting but he refused to tell us anything because he said that he was not a snitch and that he was worried about his street cred. To make long short we threatened to charge him with obstructing and charges relating to the homicide because he had beforehand knowledge of what was going to happen and he gave his boys up. My question is what do you guys think of STOP SNITCHING and how is it handled in other departments?
